viewing buttons for optional viewing formats.

characters at the cursor position without overwriting
the existing text.

Delete Block

cursor.

Find/Replace

code with another specified code.

ReEdit

opens the Edit Help form to assist with

modifying the block where the cursor is currently
located. If re-edit is not allowed, a message will be
displayed in the message bar.

If ReEdit is used on blocks with multiple commands
separated by a semi-colon, the Edit Help form for the
first command will be loaded. After saving the form,
the rest of the commands will automatically be
placed at the end of the block as it was before the
ReEdit.

This also applies for comments at the end of a line.
The comment will be placed at the end when the
Help Form is closed.

additional task options for editing the program. This
menu is described in the following table.

Exit

any changes made.
